Yes, it's what I said in the other thread. My creations were reverted, but my deletions were not. Reverting situations where a node/way was deleted and recreated are pretty much impossible to handle programatically, as reverting the deletions would likely cause even more problems, with duplicated data. But deleting and recreating is sometimes the easiest way to make a fix. (I did this sometimes when turning a TIGER way into a dual carriageway, and IIRC I did it in this particular situation because I was turning a standalone node into an interpolation way.) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
